Cricket Trivia
1. Boycott was facing a torrid over from Micheal Holding. After playing his first 5 deliveries somehow, he got out bowled the last ball. When Boycott entered the dressing room, one of his teammates remarked something about the supposedly best test opener of his times.
Pat came Boycott's reply: "If it wasn't for Boycott, England would have been 0/6 by the end of that over".
2. "Man, it don't matter where you come in to bat, the score is still zero."
-Viv Richards to Sunil Gavaskar at Madras 1983.
Gavaskar had decided to relinquish his opening position and come in at no 4 for that test. But, Malcolm Marshall fired out Anshuman Gaekwad and Dilip Vengsarkar for ducks, setting the stage for Gavaskar to walk in at 0/2. And he thought there would be less pressure!
3. Greg Thomas was bowling to Viv Richards in a county game. Viv missed a superb outswinger, and Thomas said "It's red, round and weighs about 5 ½ ounces."
Next ball Viv hits Greg Thomas out of the ground for a 6 and replies, "Greg, you know what it looks like. Go ahead and find it!"
